It's A Giveaway Day!


 Hi guys!  I hope the weekend is starting nicely for you.  To help, I'm doing a giveaway on today's card.  You know the drill by now, leave a comment on the post and I will draw a winner and announce the name in a few days.  First, a little confession about this card.  You have seen it before, in fact I demoed this card during the previous 4 Day Deal that I did, but it had Iris on it.  The Iris have been discontinued from Heartfelt Creations line (or are about to be) and I just loved the layout with the embossed vellum and scalloped posy.  I decided to just do a swap.  The iris was removed and I added the Asters in it's place.  I wanted to show the asters embossed in white for a completely different look to them.  I haven't had time to go back and find the original card, but if you scroll back to find it, you will see just how different this small change makes to this card.  (I bet many of you probably wouldn't have recognised it if I hadn't told you, now would you?)LOL   I have to be brief today as I am finishing up my demo prep for Monday's shows and still have a ways to go yet.  One final mention, though, I can't actually post this card out until Thursday after the shows are over.  Remember to leave a comment in you want to be entered in the drawing.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, the asters are lovely - so delicate. It's amazing how versatile your design is - I would never have guessed this was the 'Iris' card. Thanks for doing the 'Giveaway' - such a nice thing to do!

Hugs, Belinda X

Hi sue what a beautiful card and it has made my mind up that I really do need these aster dies and stamp!! And if you hadn't confessed I would never have known this card was recycled! Lol I have just got the new creative expressions book and I have to say its amazing and my daughter has already picked 2 of them for her birthday in 2 weeks time!! Can't wait for your shows next week just hope they've got loads of stock and don't sell out early. Love Lesley x

Jill Liddle said...

Not too sure about the flowers on this one. Maybe that's just because I'm not really a flowery person, but I do like the colours.

Unknown said...

Great work....this is a beautiful work. Love every aspect on this card.

Such a beautiful card, as always. Your samples give beginners like me something to aspire to. Sometimes i think you just need that little seed of inspiration to get you started, the problem is knowing when to stop! Keep doing your thing.

Hi Sue - I really like these asters and I have the stamps and the dies, but have difficulty in marrying them up, so I am looking forward to your demos next week for lots of hints and tips. Let's just hope the presenters don't take up all the time and not let you get the demos in!!
